Top Dem Donor Cashing in on Ex-Im Bank

The third biggest donor to Democratic candidates so far this election is cashing in from the Export-Import Bank, according to the Washington Examiner.

Grover Connell and his wife Patricia have thus far contributed $220,000 to Democratic candidates this election cycle. His company, the Connell Company, is the number 2 recipient of Ex-Im Bank insurance, according to a study by the Mercatus Center.

President Obama is a huge supporter of Ex-Im.Democrats are united in expanding it. Republicans are divided as to whether it should still exist. The Connells and their company certainly shore up their taxpayer-backed export insurance by supporting Democrats.
